You didn’t let the nurses leave the hospital room with your newborn-son unless Daddy followed…
You let your son sleep in your bedroom until he was three, fearing something terrible could happen…
You took Child Development courses to become a preschool teacher so you didn’t have to send him to preschool without you…
You can’t imagine sending your son to Kindergarten FIVE DAYS A WEEK, so you home-school two days…
You go get your seven (and a half, you cannot forget the half)-year-old son a cell phone for his first “official” play-date without Mom.
I just kissed my son good-bye - leaving with his buddy to watch a high-school football game – brand new (pay as you go) cell phone in his pocket. We were both nervous and excited, but wholly trusting the Lord.
Am I paranoid? Over-protective? Some may think so. But I feel I have followed my heart’s leading, cherishing these precious childhood years – doing the best I know how in this journey called 'Motherhood.'
He is growing so fast. I know it won’t be long before he is driving to the high-school football game on his own. Redeem the time, I say again, redeem the time…

I love your honesty! I can't believe Jarrett is in 2nd grade now!! Wow! I am sure I will be able to relate becoming a new mommy=).
Paranoid is just another word for careful and invested. Weren't we just being challenged to consider what we invest it, and what we spend? I think you invest wisely and spend yourself selflessly. Don't worry about the jargon - it's the heart that's the key.
